Such a cute romance! Celebrity, tension, enemy to lovers? Sign me up! I really liked the FMC, Emmy. Grayson took me a bit. Once they leaned more into the lovers instead of enemies, he grew on me more. The book has a huge miscommunication trope that felt cliche, especially in the third act break up.

Falon Ballard writes Romance in such a fun way, this was such a fun and light read, who does not love an underdog story and celebrity love? I know I am a huge fan of it! From someone who adores the movie filming process, this book gave us insight to what it takes. Especially when it includes explanation of what an intimacy coordinator is to explaining the film location which was ab amazing small town location, I felt like I was part of the movie crew. The way enemies to lovers is used here was so good, they hated each other, but when they realized that hate was misplaced it was so good to see them fall in love!!

READ THIS BOOK!

When starting the book I thought it had a cute premise. I liked how it kept the past a secret and slowly revealed things. As the past situation between the FMC and MMC was revealed, I really don't understand why it was such a huge deal at least compared to the way she was acting. And even with the FMC being Hollywood legacy, she had acted only once and was such a natural that she was the only one who could do the movie? So somehow these amazing things happened to her and the only bad thing from years ago was so traumatic she couldn't face it. It didn't seem like she had a lot of growth and wasn't super realistic.

This book was so cute! Emmy and Grayson’s love-hate chemistry was so fun to read, and their banter kept me hooked. I loved the Hollywood setting and all the behind-the-scenes drama, and the mix of humor and heart made it such an enjoyable read. It’s the perfect feel-good romance for anyone who loves enemies-to-lovers vibes!

I think "Right on Cue" tipped on this line of me wanting more and the book never forming into the areas that I wanted the most for the characters to experience. Ballard presents an image of these character that don't seem to really challenged what they want so much, and why specifically each of their wants is so important to the life that image with each other.

"Right on Cue" pits Emmy and Grayson against each other on and off camera, with a dash of Hollywood glamour and romance. With its lighthearted and humorous tone, "Right on Cue" offers a fun and flirty take on the enemies-to-lovers trope. This one didn't bring as much of a star experience as I had hoped but it is the first time I've read this author so I'm eager to read more from her and see if I discover a winner!

Right on cue is an absolutely hilarious love-hate story about two characters forced into close proximity. There are so many great tropes in this story and man oh man is Emmy good at hating Grayson. This is both a boone for the book, but also a downfall in my opinion.

While I thought there wer some truly hilarious moments, I just could not get on board with how much Emmy hated Grayson. It was honestly ridiculous and did not make her very likable. Especially because all of their problems would have been solved by....you guessed it, communication. It makes sense that teenage Emmy and Grayson didn't have the emotional maturity to do this, but the adult version of them should have. I did love the story and the deeper, emotional backstories. But the emotional immaturity of the female MC was super off-putting.

This is a great book for those who love the enemies to lovers trope with a lot of HATE thrown in. The subplots were amazing and I think that a lot of romance lovers will like this one.

Right on Cue by Fallon Ballard is a fun, lighthearted romantic comedy with plenty of sparks flying between the leads. I enjoyed the slow burn between Emmy and Grayson as they navigate their differences. The humor and banter between them were fantastic, and I found myself rooting for them to overcome their past. While the plot was a bit predictable at times, the characters were charming enough to make the journey enjoyable. It’s not quite a five-star read for me, but it’s an entertaining story with enough chemistry to keep you hooked until the end. 3.5 rounded to 4

Cute, sexy and entertaining. I usually don't gravitate towards anything involving movies but this one interested me and I'm glad I did. Emmy went back to writing a rom-com and her best friend is the director of her newest screenplay and both she and the producers want her for the lead. After losing the male lead they pull in another and it just happens to be Grayson. They were in a movie together as teens and she was devastated after they shared a kiss. Now at the start of the movie things are tense but eventually the chemistry wins out. They figured out there was a misunderstanding but will they be able to keep their chemistry alive after the movie is over.

This was a cute enemies to lovers rom-com. Quick and easy read. Witty banter. Kept my attention the entire time. No dull/boring times. I like how the MMC was confident to show his feelings.

And of course there was the famous third act break-up which I didn’t mind but I am not a fan of the miscommunication trope. All in all a solid rom-com.

Three stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you @netgalley for the ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Unfortunately I think Fallon Ballard is not for me. Her books just lack a spark that I love in romance, and her characters calla a little flat. Hard to root for them.

I enjoyed this book. It ended up being an enjoyable read overall but I didn’t find myself flying through it. I didn’t love the use of the miscommunication trope but I did like how there were some consequences the lack of communication.

Right on Cue really worked for me! I felt like I was transported into a sexier version of a Hallmark movie and I loved every moment of it! Falon Ballard has a wonderful voice and tone that is easy to engage with and quick to enjoy. This enemy to lovers, movie star romance has the charm of a small town and the excitement of a movie set! Ballard’s characters are interesting and complex, they are complicated and need to work through various misunderstanding and misinterpretations and insecurities. This novel does a lovely job working through both personal and relationship growth with a styles that has a lighthearted and humorous take. This romance is the perfect fall/winter escape that is full of charm, a spattering of humor, and a sizzling sensuality to create a cozy Hollywood romance!

Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed this romcom romance. It was both hilarious and entertaining. I love the growth of the main female and just the ups and downs. She goes she goes to struggle on her journey and career. I found the word meet cute to be perfection for the couple, and I also just enjoyed the way they supported one another throughout the book the author really did great with creating the romance between them

As a big fan of Falon Ballard’s books, I’m always excited to dive into her latest release—she’s definitely an auto-buy author for me! This one didn’t disappoint. I really enjoyed the celebrity romance trope, especially with the cozy small-town inn and film set as the backdrop. The setting added so much charm to the story, making it easy to get lost in. The characters had great chemistry, and I was engaged from start to finish. Highly recommend this one to anyone who loves a heartwarming romance with a touch of Hollywood magic!

Emmy Harper, romcom screenwriter ends up taking a role in her newest movie, opposite her worst nightmare, Grayson West. Their past is a rough one, and after 15 years, it’s still as bad. Neither one of them is making filming easy, until they come to an agreement that ends up with them spending a lot more time together.
This book was a very easy read, I finished it in one sitting. The plot was very cute, I adored Falon Ballard’s writing style, and her characters were just so much fun to read about.
